Central Coast Mariners boss Nick Montgomery set for talks with Hibernian over vacant managerial job; Easter Road side considering options to replace Lee Johnson, who was sacked; Club set to make an appointment next week ahead of trip to Kilmarnock
"Last season was a transitional season for Hibs, but I was so proud of the successes we enjoyed together as a group. Beating Hearts and Celtic at Easter Road, after a number of times of asking, were wonderful moments. Experiencing the fans' rendition of 'Sunshine on Leith' after those big results was fantastic!
"The whole squad really embraced our ethos and the hard work in training was undoubtedly showing on the pitch, especially the performances and form post SPFL split and across both fixtures against Luzern, which was possibly the best result in Europe in over 20 years', setting up a lucrative tie against Aston Villa.
"The first three games of the domestic season didn't go as planned. It was very disappointing given the work the players, coaching staff and I had put in to prepare the squad for an intense start to the season.
